Maternal-Fetal Medicine
A high-risk pregnancy can bring extra questions and worry. Astera Health partners with CentraCare Maternal-Fetal Medicine to offer specialized pregnancy care at our Legacy Campus. This service helps patients get expert support close to home.
Maternal-fetal medicine doctors, also called perinatologists, care for people who need extra monitoring during pregnancy. They work with your OB-GYN, family medicine provider and care team to help keep you and your baby as healthy as possible.
What is a high-risk pregnancy?
A high-risk pregnancy means you or your baby may have a higher chance of health concerns before, during or after birth. It does not always mean something is wrong. It means you may need extra care, testing or monitoring.

- Are 35 or older
- Are pregnant with twins, triplets, or more
- Have gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, or another pregnancy-related condition
- Have had past pregnancy concerns, such as miscarriage, stillbirth, or preterm labor
- Have a baby with a diagnosed health concern
- Had diabetes, high blood pressure, or another long-term health condition before pregnancy
